Then one night when the sun was sinking low, the big white cock flew up to the top of the fence and crowed. All the chickens listened then, while he told them that they were every one to go into old Fido's house that night with Mamma Goose; for that was the only way to keep the fox from carrying them all away.
"Don't do that, Victor," remonstrated Frank. "Why not?" "Mrs. Leroy wouldn't like it." "Mrs. Leroy isn't here." "I am," said Frank, emphatically, "and that is the same thing." Victor, by way of reply, pinched Fido's ear, and the little animal squeaked his disapproval. "Look here, Victor," said Frank, decidedly, "you must stop that." "Must I?" sneered Victor, contemptuously. "'Suppose I don't?"
Perhaps he lacked something of Fido's moody charm, of his frivolous pathos, of his absurd joyousness, of his enchanting vanity. Perhaps it was just Fido's youth that he lacked, and his irresponsibility. There was a certain gravity about Ponto a perfect dignity. His fastidiousness had gone beyond the stage of selections, and had reached the stage of exclusions.
I might have took it all at once, to save it. Once I was minded to." "Roger saved your life," said Allan, endeavouring to make his tone serious. "And because of it, he is about to lose his position. The Judge is so disturbed over Fido's approaching dissolution that he has told Roger never to come back any more.
Then the yellow-bird did as Fido asked, she flew to the window where they had once seen the little boy, and alighting upon the sill, she peered into the room. In another moment she was back on the bush at Fido's side. "He is asleep," said the yellow-bird. "Asleep!" cried Fido. "Yes," said the yellow-bird, "he is fast asleep.
So when Raggedy Ann had been returned to the nursery the dolls could hardly wait until Marcella had put on their nighties and left them for the night. Then they told Raggedy Ann all about the kittens. Raggedy Ann jumped from her bed and ran over to Fido's basket; he wasn't there. Then Raggedy suggested that all the dolls go out to the barn and see the kittens.
Bungay. "You may fancy my wife's agony when she knew what had happened! The cook came screaming up-stairs, and told us that she had found poor Fido's skin in the area, just after we had all of us tasted of the dish! She never would speak to the embassador again never; and, upon my word, he has never been to dine with us since.
I was told to make another, and my not knowing about it, and taking the liberty of asking a few necessary questions, produced the fireworks. It wasn't Fido's fault, but mine." "How is Fido?" queried Barbara, with affected anxiety. "He was well at last accounts, but the document was long enough and complicated enough to make him very ill. I hope he'll die of it to-morrow."
She had told her father of nearly all her adventures, had given Fido's history more fully, informed Rupert of all that he had missed, and was proceeding with an account of Helen. 'Really, said she, 'I have much more hope of her being happy at home, than I had at first.
If the others wished to sit still and let the fox carry them away one at a time, that was one thing, but for her to do nothing to keep her little goslings safe, that was quite another. So that very evening, when the sun had gone down behind the hill, and the chickens had perched themselves on the roost with the big cock at the end, Mamma Goose led all the little goslings into Fido's house.
